Sounds like my toilet repair...(now we're completely off topic..)
Get some expensive titanium-whatever bits, use oil and you should be
able to get a hole in the steel plate. I had to do this on a toilet
flange that the bolt retainer rusted out and I didn't feel like
jackhammering the cast iron flange out of the concrete..
Then use selftapping screws. Made for iron or concrete.

I wouldn't trust any glue over my head,,or car for that matter....
